Trooper's Daughter to Spend Up To Nine Years in Prison for Stabbing Death of Boyfriend

Danielle Allen, the Livingston County woman convicted in the murder of her boyfriend in 2016, learned Tuesday she will spend the next three to nine years in a state prison.

“She took a life and I thought the maximum was appropriate and it’s a difficult decision for Judge Wiggins and I respect it. It’s difficult for everybody. Both families I have respect and a admiration for,” said Livingston County District Attorney Greg McCaffrey.

“This didn’t have to happen. I want my son," Whitehouse said. "I want him to be here with me and I don’t get to see Marcus come full circle. I don’t get to see him grow up, become a husband, a father, an uncle. I don’t hold bitterness. I pray for her, I want good for her and her family.”

Allen is the daughter of New York State Trooper Rick Allen. Because of the suspect's relationship to state police, they were not involved in the investigation.

Joel Daniels, Danielle Allen's attorney, says he will be filing a notice of appeal.
